Rick,

Mirrors pull, they don't push. Apart from allowing the mirror sites 
access to the master file repository at cygwin.com, they're completely 
out of the control of anyone at Redhat or on the Cygwin team.

My personal recommendation is to pick a single mirror (based on 
reliability!) and then exercise patience. I use the Argonne mirror. 
They're not the most prompt to update, but they're pretty reliable.
